Pune Metro Line 3 Expected to Open Virtually by September-End with Partial Station Operations
The Pune Metro Line 3, connecting Hinjewadi to Shivajinagar over 23.23 km, is expected to begin passenger services by the end of September. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to inaugurate the line virtually. The Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority plans to operate trains at 17 of the 23 stations initially, following safety clearance of 12 stations by the commissioner of metro rail safety, with inspections of five more stations pending. Six stations will remain closed until construction and approvals are complete.
